“You have controlled your fear.  Now, release your anger.  Only your hatred can destroy me.”
--Darth Vader

It is said that when Queen Potema launched her rebellion and sought to make herself Emperor, she used dark and dangerous powers to do so.  She became a powerful and terrifying sorceress that could not be defeated.  It is even said that she found a way to cheat death itself.  Legends say she built herself an army of cloned soldiers using forbidden knowledge and ancient alchemy.  But her most powerful servant was a dark and mysterious warrior know as Vader.  Some say this knight was once a member of the Je'dai, an ancient order of warriors who once served the Dragon Cult and now served to protect Skyrim itself.  When the Je'dai stood against Potema's rebellion, Vader betrayed and eradicated them all.  He became her champion, her right hand, an extension of her twisted will.  The forces of Empress Kintyra came to fear the wrath of the Dark Lord Vader.  When Potema was finally defeated and her rebellion scattered, no sign of this dark lord was ever found.  Some say he waits even now, deep in the bowels of Solitude, to rise again and avenge his fallen Queen...


This mod adds a few sets of armor based off of the armor that Darth Vader wears in the Star Wars franchise.  There are two variants, one is light armor and one is heavy armor.  There light armor version is based off of several artists' renditions of Vader wearing traditional Samurai armor, as the movie design was inspired by samurai armor to begin with.  This version is heavy based on the vanilla Blades armor.  The heavy version is an attempt to be closer to the actual movie design, using a variety of modified vanilla armors to create something close to what we see in the movie while still feeling grounded in Skyrim.  I also included a variant of my Je'dai armors from Legends of Mandalore based on Anakin Skywalker's armor from the Clone Wars series.  There are also a few weapons and shields based on Vader's lore. 

You will find:

-Vader's Light Armor

-Vader's Heavy Armor

-Anakin's Robes

-Anakin's Armor

-Anakin's Saber (A glowing blue katana, available in one and two handed versions.)

-Vader's Saber (A glowing red katana, available in one and two handed versions.)

-Purge Staff (An electrical staff that can also be used as a melee weapon.)

-Electroripper Staff (An electrical staff that can also be used as a melee weapon.)

-Vader's Shield (A light shield based off of the Dark Visions comics.)

-The Zaly Shield (A heavy shield based off of the Vader comics.)

-Unenchanted versions of all items.

Vader's secret lair can be accessed through a door in Potema's Catacombs.


-This mod is a bit of a spinoff of my Legend of Mandalore mod, and references the same made up lore, but that mod is NOT required to enjoy this one.

-Vader's helmet and mask are composed of a few separate pieces, which means you can mix and match and possibly use with other helmets (with varying results.)

-The sabers can be changed from two to one handed at the forge.

-When you acquire one of the staffs, a melee version of that staff is automatically added via script.  When you drop it, the melee version is removed.  (This can be exploited by dropping just the melee version.)

-The capes and cloaks are specifically shaped to drape nicely over the armors, so they might look a bit strange with other armors.

-This mod does add a bit to the Potema Catacombs cell, so there my be conflicts with other mods that edit that cell.

-Vader currently uses the "Dremora" voice.  It's a little ridiculous, but it seemed better than having him sound like a normal dude.


-It's possible that all the armors might not show up on the mannequins; if this happens you might have to reload a save and enter again.


-Make it possible to have Vader as a follower instead of just killing him.

-Create more of a quest concerning Potema's version of the "Clone Wars", possibly with more of a crossover with Legends of Mandalore.

-I wanted to make Vader an actual limbless, heavily scarred corpse when you take his armor, but I didn't get that far.

As always I could never do this without all the modders that have come before and created such amazing content.  A million thanks for doing all the hard stuff!
